Masquerade

Long ago
She graced the pages of her yearbook
Did everything that she could
To get away
From a home
That's filled with anger and with strangers
Everyone seemed to blame her
They'd be so proud if they could see her now

Nobody gave her a chance
So she ran away
Now she's somebody else
Yet there's no escape
As she's taking off her makeup
She sees what she's really made of
Secrets lay behind her masquerade

Now today (now today)
She answers only to the voices
No longer makes the choices
Now she's longing for
The days when everything was easy
No addiction and now she sees
That it's a long way down
She's going home now

Nobody gave her a chance
So she ran away
Now she's somebody else
Yet there's no escape
As she's taking off her makeup
She sees what she's really made of
Secrets lay behind her masquerade

Everything she wants is everything she needs
There's no sugar-coated reasons
In a land of make-believe
I see through the mask she's wearing
There's nothing left to prove
Now she knows what to do

Nobody gave her a chance
So she ran away
Now she's somebody else
Yet there's no escape
As she's taking off her makeup
She sees what she's really made of
Secrets lay behind her masquerade

Nobody gave her a chance
So she ran away
Now she's somebody else
Yet there's no escape
As she's taking off her makeup
She sees what she's really made of
Secrets lay behind her masquerade
